1# Below is an Exim 4 config file which is designed for an Exim server that
2# is put in front of an Exchange 5.5 system but which verifies the valid
3# addresses that are stored in Exchange via LDAP lookups against the Exchange
4# server. The advantage being that I can do much more aggressive spam
5# fighting, make my own set of policy decisions etc, using the flexibility of
6# Exim while still supporting the Exchange system for final delivery (not my
7# ideal situation but the company relies on it). In any case, I thought this
8# was sufficiently useful and answers some semi-regular questions on the list,
9# that it might be included in either the FAQ or the sample configs.

21
22# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
23# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
24# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
25# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
26# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
27# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
28# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim web sites.
29
30
31# This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are
32# headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that
33# are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with #
34# are ignored.

37########### IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ###########
38# #
39# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
40# HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
41# until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
42# example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
43# see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
44# #
45# You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
46# are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
47# #
48# It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
49# correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
50# "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). #

57# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
58######################################################################
59
60# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
61# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
62# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
63# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
64
65# primary_hostname =
66
67
68# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
69# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
70# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
71# are all colon-separated lists:
72
73domainlist local_domains = @ : dbm;/etc/exim/db/localdomains.db
74domainlist relay_to_domains =
75hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.1.0/24
76
77# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
78# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations, you
79# may need to modify the Access Control List (ACL) which appears later in this
80# file.
81
82# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
83#
84# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
85#
86# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
87# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
88# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
89# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
90# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
91# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
92# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
93# recommended for today's Internet.
94
95# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
96# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
97# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
98# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
99#
100# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
101#
102# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
103# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
104# information.
105
106# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
107# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
108# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
109#
110# hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16
111#
112# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
113# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
114# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
115# sending mail.
116
117
118# All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
119# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
120# manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control list for
121# incoming messages. The name of this ACL is defined here:
122
123acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
124
125# You should not change that setting until you understand how ACLs work.
126
127
128# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
129# here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
130# followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@rome.example" is a fully qualified
131# address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
132# email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
133# default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
134# unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
135# primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
136
137# qualify_domain =
138
139
140# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
141# domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
142# If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.

147# The following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize
148# addresses of the form "user@[10.11.12.13]" that is, with a "domain literal"
149# (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form,
150# but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by
151# their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used
152# by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you

162# default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root as if it
163# were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias
164# for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

180# the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls
181# are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can provide useful information
182# for tracing problem messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems
183# with them. This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused

192# unqualified addresses (just a local part) from certain hosts, you can specify
193# these hosts by setting one or both of
194#
195# sender_unqualified_hosts =
196# recipient_unqualified_hosts =

205# hack" is the feature by which mail addressed to x%y@z (where z is one of
206# the domains listed) is locally rerouted to x@y and sent on. If z is not one
207# of the "percent hack" domains, x%y is treated as an ordinary local part. This
